An aircraft operating in accordance with CAR OPS 2A/H, CAR OPS 1/3/4 , with a current certificate of airworthiness, shall not fly beyond 12 months from the date of issue, or reissue, of the certificate of airworthiness unless there is a current Airworthiness Review Declaration (ARD) in respect of that aircraft submitted to and accepted by the CAA.
The ARD shall be issued twelve months after the initial issue of the C of A and renewed at twelve-monthly intervals until the next renewal of the C of A using FORM SM 14/14A/14AR, as applicable. It may be issued up to 60 days prior to the expiry date without affecting the 12 month periodicity.
An ARD shall be issued by the appointed owner/operator’s Airworthiness Coordinator or Postholder for Airworthiness Reviews, who is responsible for the continued airworthiness management of the aircraft once s(he) is satisfied according to CAR GEN Subpart E.
